People in Doupo: Unparalleled Talents Actually Bring a System

As Xiao Ling's footsteps gradually approached the Three Thousand Flames, the dragon might emanating from the giant dragon became stronger and stronger.

Xiao Ling keenly felt that as he approached, the surrounding space seemed to undergo subtle changes. The air became heavy and sticky, as if every step forward required more effort.

Feeling this abnormality, Xiao Ling couldn't help but feel a surge of surprise in his heart.

If he had not seen the real Taixu Ancient Dragon with his own eyes and was well aware of the unique dragon aura of the Taixu Ancient Dragon, perhaps without being able to see the truth, he would have mistakenly believed that this majestic dragon aura came from some kind of dragon monster with noble bloodline.

The aura emanating from the Three Thousand Flames is indeed so majestic that it gives people this illusion.

Judging from this momentum alone, this Three Thousand Flames is definitely not comparable to the strange fires he had conquered in the past. The reputation of being ranked in the top ten on the strange fire list is indeed well-deserved, and its extraordinaryness is obvious at a glance.

Under the various gazes of the crowd, after slowly moving forward for a while, Xiao Ling finally arrived in front of the dragon.

His body was suspended above the dragon's head, and from a distance, Xiao Ling's slender and tall figure formed a sharp contrast with the huge body of Three Thousand Flames, seeming almost insignificant.

Now, when Xiao Ling came into close contact with the Three Thousand Flames, he once again truly felt the shock emanating from this behemoth.

In terms of body shape, he was almost the same size as a dragon scale on the dragon's body, and seemed extremely small, like a grain of sand compared to a huge rock.

Standing in front of the huge dragon head, although the dragon eyes of Three Thousand Flames were closed, a strange feeling emerged in Xiao Ling's heart. The soul power of the great perfection of the spiritual realm allowed Xiao Ling to keenly perceive that the sleeping giant in front of him was invisibly examining him with a cold and majestic gaze.

Xiao Ling was not surprised by this situation. So many people poured into the star field and caused such a big commotion. As the native residents of the star field, how could Three Thousand Flames not know anything about this?

The wisdom of the Three Thousand Flames has long reached a level comparable to that of humans. It knows in its heart that even if it reacts at this moment, it will be difficult to escape the seal imposed by the three giants of Danta.

Instead of fighting in vain, it is better to calm down and practice, focusing on absorbing the power of the stars to enhance your own strength. In this way, you may be able to catch a glimmer of hope and one day be able to break free from the shackles of Danta.

"Xiao Ling, place your palm on the forehead of Three Thousand Flames. There is a dragon scale there that has not been covered by the purple-black flames. Then invade your soul power into it. If you are lucky, you may be able to subdue it." While Xiao Ling was secretly shocked, Xiang Jinsong's voice suddenly sounded from behind.

Hearing this, Xiao Ling couldn't help but roll his eyes slightly, secretly complaining in his heart, how could this Three Thousand Flames be tamed so easily? If he didn't have Zi Yan's dragon seal and had the opportunity to subdue the Three Thousand Flames, it would be a fantasy to subdue this Three Thousand Flames unless a Dou Sheng-level strongman took action personally.

Although he was somewhat dissatisfied, Xiao Ling still followed the instructions and walked forward steadily until he stood in front of the huge dragon scale that was as tall as him. As he expected, there was no flame hovering on the dragon scale, and it seemed unusually peaceful.

Xiao Ling's eyes swept lightly across the dragon scales, and suddenly, he noticed that these dragon scales seemed to be covered with black lines as thin as spider silk.

These lines are intertwined and entangled, forming rune patterns that seem intricate and mysterious.

These runes were tightly attached to the dragon scales, like a huge and boundless black network, wrapping up the Three Thousand Flames layer by layer.

"Is this a seal?" Xiao Ling's eyes trembled slightly, and his gaze quickly moved to other dragon scales. Sure enough, each dragon scale was covered with similar black line runes.

He suddenly realized that these runes were probably the seals cast by Xuan Kongzi and the other two. "However, the method used to seal it doesn't seem to be particularly sophisticated."

Perhaps in the eyes of others, such means are already enough to be called unfathomable.

However, in Xiao Ling's opinion, this was not that great. After all, although he had not yet become a true talisman master, he was quite familiar with the skills of talisman masters.

If he were to set up a sealing formation himself, its sophistication would definitely be better than the one left by Xuan Kongzi and the others.

"Let me first try to communicate with the Three Thousand Flames. If this guy is willing to obey, that would be ideal and would save me a lot of trouble. But if it's stubborn, then I'll have to do it myself." Xiao Ling pondered silently in his mind. After shaking his head slightly, he did not hesitate any longer. He took a step forward and stretched out his hand to gently press on the dragon scale that was not wrapped in flames.

When Xiao Ling's palm gently touched the dragon scale, unexpectedly, he did not feel any expected heat, but instead a light coolness penetrated through his skin.

However, at this moment Xiao Ling had no time to care about this unexpected chill. He quickly closed his eyes and concentrated his mind. The soul power at his brows flowed carefully along his arm, passed the contact point, and slowly penetrated into the quiet dragon scales.

As soon as Xiao Ling's soul power touched the dragon scales, it caused a big wave. This movement immediately attracted everyone's attention. Xiang Jinsong, Cao Ying and others who were not far away cast their eyes over, their eyes full of concern and curiosity.

"Oh!"

As Xiao Ling's soul power penetrated into the dragon scales, a low and subtle sound suddenly rang out. Then, Xiao Ling felt as if his soul had passed through an invisible barrier and instantly appeared in a strange and empty space.

In this empty space, purple-black flames filled the air, and in the center of the blazing flames, a miniature dragon was curled up with its eyes closed, as if in a deep sleep.

Witnessing the peaceful posture of the little fire dragon, Xiao Ling knew in his heart that this was the true origin of the Three Thousand Flames.

Although Xiao Ling knew in his heart that it would take a lot of effort and trouble to get it, this did not suppress the excitement gradually rising in his expression. Although with his current strength, even if he swallowed the Three Thousand Flames, it might not bring about a qualitative leap, but any slight increase in cultivation was precious.

Moreover, the Three Thousand Flames were ranked in the top ten of the Strange Fire List, and their rarity and power were self-evident. Before this, Xiao Ling had never completely subdued any of the top ten Strange Fires on the Strange Fire List, so this opportunity was undoubtedly a new challenge and gain for him.

"call"

Exhaling and calming his slightly fluctuating emotions, Xiao Ling looked at the still sleeping mini dragon with a slightly meaningful look, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile. Then, he started to "fool" directly,

"Three Thousand Flames of Flame, I'm entrusted by the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan to come here to lead you back to the clan." Xiao Ling's voice was clear and firm, revealing a hint of unquestionable majesty. While speaking, Xiao Ling turned his wrist slightly, and a token with an ancient style and purple-gold color appeared in his palm.

On the front of the token, a lifelike purple-gold dragon is staring proudly ahead with a majestic look, as if it may take off from this small token at any time.

A powerful dragon might slowly spread out from the token. That invisible and powerful dragon might actually suppressed the dragon might emanating from Three Thousand Flames' body.

At this point, Xiao Ling's voice could not help but reveal a hint of majesty from a high position. His voice sounded domineering and firm: "The Ancient Dragon Order is here, why don't you show yourself and come to see me?"

Just as Xiao Ling's voice fell, the Three Thousand Flames, which had kept its eyes closed, suddenly opened its eyes and looked straight in the direction of Xiao Ling.

In those eyes, there were seven parts of confusion, two parts of doubt, and one part of excitement that was difficult to conceal.

Chapter 483 Successful deception

"This pressure... is definitely derived from the dragon might of the Taixu ancient dragon clan." The mini dragon formed by the essence of the Three Thousand Flames stared at the exquisite token in Xiao Ling's hand, with a hint of excitement in his voice that was difficult to conceal.

There was no way it could sense this dragon might wrongly. This was the pure dragon might unique to the Taixu ancient dragon clan.

Moreover, the majestic aura emanating from this token was so strong that it was even more powerful and noble than the dragon power it had once felt from its master.

Then, the mini dragon suddenly turned its gaze to Xiao Ling, its eyes full of disbelief. It asked doubtfully, "Human, what exactly do you mean by what you just said? Since it is the members of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan who came to summon me, could it be that my master has finally come to find me?"

"Why didn't he come in person? Didn't he know how I spent all these long years? Why did he leave me alone for so long?"

Seeing the Three Thousand Flames respond like this, Xiao Ling raised his eyebrows slightly and thought to himself. Sure enough, when these things were mentioned, the Three Thousand Flames would react, and its wisdom was also quite good, definitely not inferior to that of ordinary people.

The token Xiao Ling showed earlier was obtained from Zi Yan, and the dragon might contained in it came from a Dou Sheng predecessor of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan. Such dragon might was naturally extraordinary, and was definitely not comparable to the dragon might emitted by the Three Thousand Flames.

Since the Three Thousand Flames had once had in-depth contact with a senior from the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan, the mark of the dragon clan remained in his body, so it could naturally recognize this familiar dragon power easily.

"There is another hidden story behind this. When that senior was traveling around the world, he happened to meet you and subdued you. However, considering that your strength was still weak at that time, he did not take you with him, nor did he want to restrict your freedom. Therefore, he left a dragon mark in your body and then let you go."

Xiao Ling slowly put away the token, and the dragon's might on the token gradually dissipated. He looked directly at the mini dragon and explained in a calm and slow tone.

As soon as Xiao Ling finished speaking, a wave of anger immediately surged in Sanqian Yanhuo's heart. Was he abandoned just because he was weak at that time? Then why did he want to subdue him in the first place?

As if he had seen through the doubts and anger in Three Thousand Flames, Xiao Ling explained before it could ask:

"But all this is not his fault. The senior was preparing to fight a mortal enemy to the death. The level of the battle was so high that even he was not sure of winning. For you who were still weak at that time, such a battlefield was too dangerous, so he chose not to let you follow. If the result of the battle was not satisfactory, not only would he die, but you would also be unable to escape the tragic fate."

Of course, Xiao Ling's explanation was just something he made up, and he himself only had a vague understanding of the real situation. These words were all stories he made up on the spur of the moment.

However, there was one thing he knew for sure, that the elder of the Ancient Dragon Clan did die while passing through the turbulent void, there was no doubt about that. Because of this, even if Xiao Ling's explanation was different, Three Thousand Flames would not be able to find any clues.

In order to easily control the Three Thousand Flames, Xiao Ling had to make up such a story.

If one could avoid all the troubles and potential dangers that might be encountered in subsequently conquering the Three Thousand Flames by force with just some eloquent words, then wouldn't it be a wise move to adopt this strategy?

After hearing what Xiao Ling said next, the anger that was about to erupt from the Three Thousand Flames was instantly calmed, and its emotions stabilized in an instant.

The original rage in its eyes was replaced by a trace of confusion, as if it was trying to understand the meaning of Xiao Ling's words. Then, its expression gradually became clear, as if it began to understand something.

"Human, are you implying that my master has met with an accident? Did he unfortunately lose the duel with his destined enemy?"

As it understood Xiao Ling's words, all kinds of thoughts surged in the mind of Three Thousand Flames. It recalled that it had been waiting alone for all these years, but its master had never given any news.

Such an association made it possible for a terrible guess to emerge in its mind, so it asked eagerly, with a hint of trembling in its voice.

"Tell me, is this true? My master, is he really gone? Did he leave me forever in the decisive battle with that enemy?" Three Thousand Flames of Flame's gaze was fixed on Xiao Ling's face, trying to find the answer from his expression. At this moment, Three Thousand Flames of Flame's heart was filled with uneasiness and anxiety.

Although the years passed by like flowing water, Sanqian Yanhuo could never forget the tall figure that once stood before him when he was still in a fragile period, and that pure and beautiful time. To this day, those memories are still deeply hidden in his heart, becoming a trace of warmth that can never be erased.

"Yes, that elder of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan, your master, did unfortunately die in that fierce battle with his old enemy, and his soul returned to heaven and earth. Therefore, he was unable to fulfill his promise and failed to come back to lead you back to the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan."

Seeing the sadness revealed by Three Thousand Flames, Xiao Ling couldn't help but feel a trace of sympathy in his heart. He sighed deeply, and his voice became low and heavy:

"After the elder had not returned for a long time, the members of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan went to investigate his residence. It was there that they found the letter left by the elder. Through the contents of the letter, the members learned about you. Before the elder had a decisive battle with the enemy, he left a last word in the letter. He hoped that if he could not return safely, the members of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan would take good care of you on his behalf and find a suitable home for you."

"So, the truth behind all this is this... It's not that the master abandoned me, but that he encountered misfortune and could no longer fulfill his promise." After listening to Xiao Ling's explanation, Sanqian Yanhuo felt a little relieved that he was not abandoned by his master. But at the same time, when he learned the sad news that his master had passed away, sadness flooded his heart, adding a bit of desolation.

"After learning about the elder's last wish and clues about you, the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan did send messengers to search for you. But unfortunately, the elder did not leave your exact location information, and the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan subsequently encountered a series of major changes, which resulted in them not being able to find you in time. During this period, you were discovered by the people of Danta and were eventually sealed in the star field of the Holy Dan City."

Xiao Ling paused for a moment, a strange light flashed in his eyes, and then he continued: "Until recently, the tribesmen of Donglong Island learned through some special channels that you were sealed in the star field of Shengdan City. Although the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan is not afraid of the power of Danta, after experiencing many changes, the strength of the clan is no longer as strong as before. Therefore, it is not a good idea to easily go to war with Danta. The most appropriate way is to rescue you from Danta's control through legitimate means."

At this point, Xiao Ling pointed at himself, with a faint beard on the corner of his mouth, and continued: "And I am the envoy sent by Donglong Island for this mission, and I am also the best person to carry out the instructions of that senior. In order to ensure that the plan can proceed smoothly, I went through hardships and finally won the championship of this Alchemy Conference. Only then did I get the privilege of contacting you. As long as you agree to go with me, I have the ability to take you out of the constraints of this star field."

"Human, isn't your real intention to subjugate me?" After listening to Xiao Ling's explanation, Sanqian Yanhuo's eyes were as sharp as a sword, staring at Xiao Ling intently, and his tone revealed a strong dissatisfaction, "How is your behavior fundamentally different from those of other humans who have tried to subjugate me?"

If not for the fact that every word Xiao Ling said before seemed to be well-founded, and if not for the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan token he had previously presented as proof, the Three Thousand Flames would have already spewed out a raging flame and burned Xiao Ling to ashes.

Facing Sanqian Yanhuo's questioning, Xiao Ling looked calm and responded in a calm tone: "I don't deny that I do hope to subdue you. But please understand that this is the best result under the current circumstances. Otherwise, you may never be able to leave this star field and continue to be trapped here."

He paused, looked at Three Thousand Flames firmly, and continued to explain: "The Ancient Dragon Clan has experienced the previous turmoil, and its strength is indeed much weaker than before. We can't conflict with Danta just because of your existence. If you don't cooperate, the Ancient Dragon Clan currently has no other way to take you away."

Xiao Ling's words echoed in his mind, and Three Thousand Flames sank into deep thought. Indeed, if it rejected this human's invitation, as it had analyzed before, the Ancient Dragon Clan's current strength was far less than its peak period, and it was impossible for it to challenge the powerful Dan Tower just for this Three Thousand Flames. If so, it might really be unable to escape the imprisonment of the Holy Dan City.

Although it still had some reluctance and struggle in its heart, it had to seriously weigh Xiao Ling's proposal in the face of the reality. On the inner scale, various thoughts were intertwined, and it was difficult for it to decide whether it should accept the choice in front of it.

As if sensing Sanqian Yanhuo's inner doubts, Xiao Ling immediately began to persuade him, his tone revealing an unquestionable determination: "The Ancient Dragon Clan chose me to inherit the last wish of that ancestor, which in itself proves that I am qualified to lead you. If you follow me, I will never let the reputation of Sanqian Yanhuo be tarnished. I promise that I will respect your will, and at the same time, I will be your shelter so that you will no longer wander alone."

He extended his hand, palm up, in an invitation gesture: "Choosing to walk with me is not only your new life, but also the Ancient Dragon Clan's promise to you. I believe that if that senior still has a spirit in heaven, he would also want to see you free, rather than being trapped here forever."

He slowly extended his hand, palm up, in a sincere invitation, and said: "Choosing to walk with me is a brand new beginning for you; for the Ancient Dragon Clan, it is a solemn promise to you. I firmly believe that if that senior is still alive, he would certainly hope to see you regain your freedom, rather than being trapped here forever."

"Inside the Dan Tower, there are old monsters who have reached the Dou Sheng realm, and you only have the strength of the Dou Zun level. Do you really think you have the ability to escape their control? Three Thousand Flames, you don't want those beings in the Dan Tower to lose patience with you, and eventually the Dou Sheng ancestor will personally take action to forcibly erase your spiritual intelligence and let you end up being conquered by others, right?"

When Xiao Ling's words of persuasion reached his ears, Sanqian Yanhuo's originally hesitant attitude suddenly changed.

It seemed to recall some memories in its mind, its body trembled involuntarily, and a hint of obvious fear flashed across its dragon eyes.

This moment of fear made it completely sober and realize the seriousness of the situation.

It slowly raised its small head, with a determined look in its eyes. It looked directly at Xiao Ling and nodded gently, revealing an unquestionable determination in its tone.

"Human, what you said does make sense. Since the members of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan have chosen you to inherit my master's legacy and expect me to follow you, then I will accept this fate and fight alongside you on the journey together."

Xiao Ling's face immediately flashed with joy when he heard this. He had only intended to try to persuade her, but he had never thought that this statement would actually work. This result was really beyond his expectations.

However, before Xiao Ling could respond, Three Thousand Flames immediately added his own conditions: "Although I agree to go with you, there is one thing you must understand. You cannot deprive me of my intelligence. I still need to retain my consciousness. In addition, you must take me to the territory of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan. I want to see what it is like where my master once lived. Also, once we leave this star field, if I find that your previous statements are all false, I will never let you easily escape the punishment you deserve, even if it costs me a certain price."

Sanqian Yanhuo's gaze was firm and sharp as he stared into Xiao Ling's eyes, and he spoke in an extremely serious tone.

If there was any unnatural look in Xiao Ling's eyes at this moment, he would not have agreed to follow Xiao Ling so rashly.

Xiao Ling couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard the conditions proposed by Three Thousand Flames. Although the strange fire can be subdued, the subduer cannot completely control the strange fire.

Even someone as powerful as the Pure Lotus Demon Saint, although he ultimately died due to physical reasons, wasn't he also killed by the backlash of the Pure Lotus Demon Fire that he had subdued?

Sanqian Yanhuo's mention of retaining his own intelligence and his threatening words were undoubtedly a test for Xiao Ling. If Xiao Ling's words were all false, he would definitely show an unnatural expression because of his concern for the possible consequences.

Facing the temptation of the Three Thousand Flames, Xiao Ling simply smiled indifferently, without showing the slightest unnatural expression on his face.

In the eyes of others, taming a strange fire with extraordinary power and its own intelligence, especially when it has not yet completely surrendered, is undoubtedly a risky challenge.
